Electronic Arts has unveiled the projected launch timeframe for the next Battlefield game. Their financial report indicates a release date before April 2026.
Gaming journalist Tom Henderson, analyzing EA's past release schedules, predicts an October or November 2025 launch for the new Battlefield title. However, EA remains tight-lipped on specifics.
Development is underway at four of EA's internal studios, with significant playtesting planned. A closed beta program has already been announced, allowing select players to experience core gameplay elements. Feedback from this beta test will inform the final product before its official launch.
This announcement also impacts the future of the Need for Speed franchise. Vince Zampella previously indicated that a new NFS game isn't imminent, prioritizing the development of this Battlefield installment.
